Do I have to do this all over again
Didn't I do it right the first time
Do I have to do this all over again
How many times do I have to make this climb
Didn't I, didn't I
Can I see my way to know what's really real
They say time can fix things by itself
Well I know life's more than just some kind of deal
Yeah, but don't you tell me when
Or where my soul comes off the shelf
Didn't I, didn't I
Do I have to do this all over again
Didn't I do it right the first time
Do I have to do this all over again
Oh, how many times do I have to make this climb
Didn't I, oh, didn't I, oh didn't I
Didn't I

I used to think maybe you love me, now baby I'm sure
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I go for the mailbox gotta hold myself down
Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're comin' around
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
And don't it feel good, hey, all right now
And don't it feel good
I used to think maybe you love me now I know that it's true
And I don't wanna spend my whole life just a waitin' for you
Now don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day (no no)
I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh

I can tell by your face
that you're looking to find a place
to settle your mind and reveal who you are
And you shouldn't be shy
for I'm not gonna try
to hurt you
or heal you
or steal your star
Open your eyes
Get up off your chair
There's so much to do in the sunlight
Give up your secrets
and let down your hair
and sit with me here by the firelight
Why think all about
who's gonna win out?
We'll make up our story as we go along
There's so little time
for us to try to rhyme
and so many highways to travel upon
Open your eyes
Get up off your chair
There's so much to do in the sunlight
Give up your secrets
and let down your hair
and sit with me here by the firelight
